Hi,

- You'll have to run it twice (1st time it creates a simple pie.ini file) in the current directory with default panel information in it...

Thanks for giving us the Trackbar and Web gadgets Fred :wink:

Fred,

I replaced Mr Skunks INI file commands with your Preferences commands, but there seems to be a problem...

I can create a new *prefs* file & I can read the contents of the same file. But I cant seem to be able to overwrite individual entries...

Here's the updated version (using *Preferences*):

Hi Naw, nice work.
This is so cool that it normally must be under Tips&Tricks instead of Beginners...

BTW your line:

WID=OpenWindow(1, 0, 0, GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSCREEN), #PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget, "pIE - Panelled Internet Explorer")

has a bad result, because the Window is BIGGER (X and Y) than my Desktop.
You probably overlooked that the SIZE in OpenWindow is the Client Area not the overall Window dimension.
To adjust this, you can't use ResizeWindow because it resizes the Client Area of a Window.
The explanation:

ResizeWindow(Width, Height)
Resize the current window to the given dimensions.

in the help file is wrong!

This would be more appropriate:

ResizeWindow(InnerWidth, InnerHeight)
Resize the current window to the given dimensions.
'InnerWidth' and 'InnerHeight' specify the requiered client area (without borders and window decorations), for Windows XP, AmigaOS and Linux skinning compatibility.

--------------------

Anyway, to use a fixed number to adjust this, like -4 for X and -28 for Y, doesn't work either because of WinXP's new skinning stuff.

Here is a procedure that I use for PureGUI as a built-in command:

Code: Select all

Procedure PG_ResizeWindow(PureGUI_SizeX,PureGUI_SizeY)
  PureGUI_Pos.RECT : GetWindowRect_(WindowID(),PureGUI_Pos)
  SetWindowPos_(WindowID(),0,PureGUI_Pos\left,PureGUI_Pos\top,PureGUI_SizeX,PureGUI_SizeY,0)
EndProcedure

Hope this helps...




Have a nice day...
Franco

Hi Franco,
Wow! praise indeed :wink:
Trying to incorporate your suggestions, but Resizing the Window is tricky...

Hi Nigel,

just put my Procedure on top of your code and put this line after the OpenWindow call:

PG_ResizeWindow(GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSCREEN))

That's it.

BTW: The best would be if you put ALL procedures on TOP of your code.
And after that build your gui. You can call the procedures everytime you need it.
